Recently, I attended a workshop at an Ashram close to
Mumbai. I spent 3 days at the Ashram and learnt quite a few things. There were
many foreigners also at the ashram and all seemed to be greatly impressed by
the knowledge and wisdom imparted by the head of the ashram, a man named swami
Permanadan.
In one of his discourses the swami said that weight gain and
obesity is a big issue in the modern world. He advocated a revolutionary method
to reduce weight and flab. What was it? The swami recommended maximum sexual
unions for a reduction in weight. To say the least, I was surprised, but on
deeper reflection I found the swami’s recipe quite plausible.
The Swami advocated two things:
a) Regular sex with partners who were younger in age
b) Sex to be prolonged as per the Tantra and with maximum
indulgence and action.
I consulted a doctor who mentioned that sex does burn energy
and the swami was thus bang on target in his suggestion. As per him a lot of
sex will help burn energy and improve the blood circulation. It will also tone
up the body and give an impetus to man to remain fit. As such exercise would be
a natural corollary. Most of the audience lapped up the suggestions of the
swami.
The swami also advocated diet control and eating a diet of
nuts like almonds and dates with warm milk. He wanted the participants to give
up all forms of meats and alcohol. The swami wished for sex with a variety of
partners so that the novelty does not wear off. He however was against any form
of group sex.
All this does sound weird, but then the holy men of India
always have out of box solutions for everything. I wonder how correct he is. I
hope to try the swami’s recipe for a couple of months to see if I can reduce my
weight.
